The Magoon Case Again.

In December. 1885, we believe it

his trial at the succeeding June term
of the Circuit Court Of LaFal cite coun-
ty. After awhile his friends procured
bail for him and he was aL large
until the trial came off year ago.
He was tried upon the charge of as
saulting with intent to rob. The trial
attracted much attention in Darlington
and the county generally. Public
sympathy was largely with the defend
ant. The trial resulted in his acquittal.
Immediately after the close of that term
Henry S. Magoon brought a suit to
have the notes cancelled upon the
grounds that they were without con

More School Room.

The most important question brought
up at the school meeting Tuesday night
was that of providing more room for
the accommodation of the pupils of the
lower rooms of the Lancaster schools.
1t seemed to be admitted by all that
more room is an absolute necessity.
The rooms are all crowded. some
teachers having over hundred pupils
In the first place the health Of the pu
pills demands more room. Moreover
no teacher can do justice to over fifty
pupils, and forty are enough. Besides
the course of study calls for another
grade. This grade must be established
in order 10 bring students to the High
School with any reasonable preparation
for the studies there The School Board,
composed of three of the most econo-
mcal and conscientious men in the
community, declare more room to be a
necessity.
Nor will one room accomplish the
desired object There must be two
rooms. Removing two grades TO other
quarters leaves recitation room for
the High School assistant, and for the
general assistant, in the main building.
Glasses cannot be heard in halt ways in
cold weather. 1t is admitted by AL
who have looked into the matter At ali
that these rooms are required
Two plans were proposed TO meet
this demand, and both were voted down
by the meeting-as they should have
been. The first (and we believe the
most objectionabl,) plan was 70 divide
the chapel into two rooms. That should
never be done Such room is needed.
The whole school should assemble daily,
or as often as possible, for some general
exercise. There is education in it,
The moral effect is good. 1t should
not be dispensed with, The room IS
needed for many purposes
The other plan was u procar. ronms
down towu. Probably no suitable
rooms could no found. II they could
the rooms would be removed from the
supervision Of the principal There
are other strong objections to scparat-
ing the schools.
The only really sensible thing 10 do.
and the most economical plan in lhe
end, is to put up building
on the present school grounds removed
some distance from the main school
house. A brick building. one story
high, with two rooms, huilt with view
to adding another story, should the city
ever grow to require it. could be put up
for about $4,000. This would afford
ample room for present requirements,
and put our schools on good basis
We have had excellent principals aud
teachers, but we have not had good
schools. We never can have till this
difficulty is remedied Tax payers.
don't be niggardY with your schools.
Every dollar wisely expended cn them
will pay the community bigger interest
than you can compute. D. pot refuse
to afford the room so much needed, nor
be deceived in thinking the cheapest
plan the best economy Turn out. La
dies and Gentlemen, next Tuesday night,
and let your voices and your votes assist
ia deciding this question for the best in

PATRICK HENRY.


At daybreak, In old Congress Hail.
The council heard a footstep fall,
When flashed the signal round tho floor,
sThe three have enteredi Shut the doorFs
To Hancock silent in his chair,
To nifty patriots, listening there,
A voice that never shook with dread
The mighty Declaration read.
All night that dauntless speech TO pen
Had toilod those stern committee men;
Tho audience felt its awful weight
And then began the great debate.
Dared one that mornings mood to mock
With talk OF prison, gibbet, blocki
Tall Henry stood In righteous ire
To shame the hint with words OF fire.
sLet crowned oppression for our sake
OF every rock scaffold make,
And all our homes to ruin give.
That Declaration still shall live
Its voice shall cry whom we are dust:
There are no slaves, since God Is Just;
Its lines shall tyrant's hearts appall
Like lightnings on BeishazzaF wall
"Down, monarchs, from your empire hurled
You purpled hangmen of the werldl
For you, At last mans wrath and rod,
For you the thunderbolts OF GOdt
SShall we, when liberty invites,
Disown our manifest of rights,
And, faithless, TO its solemn claims
Like towards shrink to pledge our nsmesi
No, patriots, seal your sacred vow,
Complete the proud deliyerance now,
And on this glorious parchment trace
Hopes message TO the human race.
"Signi for the hearts your manhood shields;
Signi for the dead on vslor's fields;
And tell the millions yet TO be
God gave our country to be free"
They signed; and still, In witness grand,
The fifty-six immortal stand
BY the bold instrument that woke
Ten thousand swords when Henry spoke
And still, in legends echoes. live
Those words historians could not give,
OF him whose heart and tongue OF fame
Are deathless as our Nations fame.
For through the records stinted lines,
His soul, a Quenchless lightning, shines;
And long in freedoms bells will ring
Til unwritten Voice that slnote King.

A Telegram from Washington makes
this interesting announcement: "The
president said last evening, in CONVEX
sation with friend 10 reference to his
contemplated Western trip, that he had
about given up the idea of being pres
ent in St. Louis during the encamp-
ment of the Grand Army He under
stands that the weather was very hot
there during September, and he tn ought
of deferrins his visit until October,
when the exposition would be III full
/ operation" 1t is perhaps not so much
the warmth, as the GOODNESS of the re-
ception that would trouble Grover.
The Civil service compulsory exam
ination in the Departments for pro-
motion is now being held and there is
much anexiety as to the result. The
examination in the War Department
was closed one week ago and the result
Just announced shows that all except
seven passed, What will become of
the lone seven is now the question
The rules do not require the summary
dismissal of these who fail to pass but
leave il to the discreation of the depart
ment whether TO retain or dismiss
The probably is that in most cases dis
missal will follow as there are many
applicants eager for the places and AS
soon as it is learned that there are
places that can be consistently made
vacant under color of law, the appoint
ing power will have no rest until the
vacancies are mape and filed. The
way the positions are obtained is to re-
ceive an appointment rs a messenger
or laborer an then being inside enter
one of these examinations and if Won
pass bring the inhuance that got you
the first position TO bear GU the head of
the Department 10 promote you to one
of the positions made vacant by the dis
missal of the clerk who performed the
duties satisfactorily for years but failed
to stand the test of The Civil service
standard of competency. There are
many ways of doing thing or accom-
plishing a purpose if you have ingeuin-
ity enough to make the way The
clerks are all staying at home these
warm nights and sweating under the
heat of the midnight oil to prepare
themselves for the coming ordeal. So
far the women have passed higher in
the examinations than the men.
